Georgia Gubernatorial Candidate Bottoms Updates Platform on Oct. 24: Affordability at the Center, Pause on New Data Centers
The campaign of Georgia gubernatorial candidate Keisha Lance Bottoms updated her platform on Oct. 24, putting affordability and a pause on new data centers at the center of her bid. According to reports, Bottoms' platform includes relief on insurance costs and grocery taxes, a moratorium on new data centers, expanding Medicaid, and guaranteed pre-K for 4-year-olds. She also said she wants Georgians to have a greater voice in state government and urged voters to consider her vision for the state. The data center issue has drawn wide debate in Georgia recently amid rising resident concerns over electricity, water and land use, and Bottoms' proposed pause aligns with her broader affordability agenda. Georgia's midterm election is Nov. 3, and the governor's race is among the state's most closely watched contests this year, with candidates staking out positions on cost-of-living issues in recent weeks.
